Overview
- A June 9 Los Angeles court order gave Willis primary physical custody and set Derek Thomas on a phased plan of monitored visits starting June 20 that could move to unmonitored overnight stays.
- Willis filed an emergency motion on August 30 seeking to keep all visits supervised and to block overnight time, citing specific incidents during supervised visits and declarations from three nannies.
- Thomas has formally objected to Willis’s request and denied her allegations of drug use and endangering their daughter, asking the judge to enforce the original June orders and proceed to overnight visits.
- The filings include competing sworn declarations about disputed nanny supervision, missed or contested visits, and an allegation from Thomas that Willis moved their daughter to Nashville without his consent.
- Both sides will present arguments at a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing on September 10 and the court-ordered 730 custody evaluation will factor into whether supervision rules or overnight parenting time change.
